Sources report that That’s So Raven star Raven-Symoné has officially been dropped from Disney-owned Hollywood Records, which has Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Corbin Bleu, and other Disney stars on the label.

Paula Patton and her hubby Robin Thicke looked uber fabulous at last night's Hollywood premiere of Swing Vote:
Loves it. The tangerine dress and accessories are perfect, skin is flawlessly perfect, makeup is perfect. Makes you hate this chick.

Star magazine is reporting that Diddy and Cassie are now telling the people close to them that they got engaged last month. According to Star:
"He told everyone to keep it extremely quiet because he didn't want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited," says a source. "Diddy said they hadn't set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first."
Apparently he popped the question at Justin's eigth grade graduation on June 5th. This is all very interesting since a couple weeks ago Cassie herself said they broke up. Maybe they were engaged last month and that's the break up Cassie was speaking of. Or maybe they have made up. Or maybe all this ish is wrong. Either way, I'm just passing on the news. And again, pick up your face Kim Porter.
UPDATE: Reps for Diddy and Cassie say this is a complete fabrication and they are NOT engaged.

We've got more info about Fierce Kitty Frankie's new reality show. I'm told it'll be airing on BET (surprise surprise) as a spin off to her daughter Keyshia Cole's show. It's currently titled "Holla! I'm Just Frankie!" as that's her usual words when she enters a room. Yes, I'm serious. She had a b-day party this past weekend in Atlanta and I hear it was definitely star studded *side eye* and the camera crews were rolling tape to get footage for her show.

According to Us Weekly, Tameka Foster Raymond let media sources know the other night at the HollyRod event that not only is she just loving her hyperactive Baby Usher V, but she's already ready to expand her fam with Usher even more:
"He's like hyper baby — he's crawling so fast!...He stands up, and he's walking around the table ... it's amazing to watch him," added Foster, 38. "I've never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on the Incredibles!...We're just scared because the baby knows how to get off the bed already, so our bed is like a gigantic crib because we have rails."
And when Mrs. Raymond was asked about having more kids, she said:
"I'd love to have more, we just gotta make the time."
Here we go again....
And Sherri Shepherd is letting everyone in on her past life before she converted to Christianity. In her feature for Precious Times (a black Christian women's magazine):

"My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses," Shepherd, 41, says.

At the time, the stand-up comic — then a Jehovah's Witness – was "in a very physically abusive relationship," she said. "I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count."
She said her self-esteem became so low, "I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference."
But after converting to Christianity, she said, "God showed me that it would make a difference."

Wow. She also talks about relying on her faith to get her through her recent divorce from her husband who cheated on her and got another woman pregnant.
